College Students Find A Mysterious Intruder In Their Dorm But Realize That It Actually Needed Their Help

What Was There?

So where did they take the pangolin to? Well, nearby the university premises, there were “a lot of fallen tree trunks and rotting logs,” ACRES group director Kalai Balakrishnan explained, “There will be termites here, ants for him.” Since there was no way they could measure how long the animal had been without food or water, they were racing.

Out of The Crate

The pangolin must have felt so lost and helpless when it found itself amidst the skyscrapers and cars in the city. Knowing this, the ACRES workers took the pangolin out to the forest and released it from the crate they had kept it in. And the frightened animal then took its time processing the world around it. It was scanning what and where it was…

Waiting For Its Reaction

So the only thing that these people could do now was to wait for how the pangolin reacted. They had no means to communicate with it or ask how it was feeling, so they just tried whatever they thought would work. They took time to wait so that the pangolin could make its choice… So how would it behave? Has it lost its will to live and go on or not?

Running Away

And so, after a few moments, the little pangolin came out of the crate. Well, the poor distressed animal did not just come out, it actually took off running away as quick as possible! We certainly hope it did not get lost or find its way back into the college premises again… This was such a moment of relief because now the pangolin was back to where it belonged. This was more meaningful than what everyone involved has anticipated…

A Widespread Impact

Since we already mentioned that pangolins are an endangered species, this was a moment that called for some rejoicing. Since the thoughtful students ended up calling ACRES, their action did more for pangolins as a whole, even more than they could have ever imagined. Dr. Sonja Luz was able to explain just how necessary and important the students’ decision was for the pangolin family…

An Interesting Discovery

So since there were just over a hundred pangolins in Singapore alone, the need to stop smuggling or selling them was crucial. And the students did the right thing by asking for help and protection for the obviously scared animal. And by the month of September, 2 years had passed after the pangolin was discovered in the college. Dr. Luz then came up with an interesting project.
